Bath re-enamelling in Bradwell, done in place

We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. The preparation is what makes it last, and we take our time over it. Our repair technicians work on pressed steel baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays, and people most often call us about enamel that’s lost its shine and feels rough and lots of chips and rust spots.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Use washing-up liquid and a soft cloth
  • Keep toiletries on a shelf rather than in the bath
  • Leave the bath for the full curing time before using it
  • A quick wipe after use keeps limescale away

Treat the new finish gently at first: let it cure fully, then use mild cleaners only. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.

Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It removes more of the surface.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a full day. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the bath and agree the finish with you.
  2. Everything around the bath is masked and covered.
  3. The bath is degreased, repaired and keyed.
  4. We apply the primer and then the finish coats.
  5. We remove the masking, tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Bradwell?

A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A bath in a colour that no longer suits
  • Enamel that is lost its shine and feels rough
  • An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
  • Several chips and rust patches

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A bath split right through the body
  • Problems we cannot see until an old finish comes off
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Basins & shower trays
  • Victorian roll-tops
  • Pressed steel baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Cast iron baths

Bradwell: your questions answered

Do you cover Bradwell?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bradwell for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you change the colour of my bath?

Yes, white is the usual choice. Mention the colour you want when you send photos.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How long is the bath unusable?

Most baths are done in a day and can be used the day after. We give you timings with the quote.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Bradwell

If the bath is sound, re-enamelling is typically much cheaper than replacing it, once you add removal, plumbing, tiling and decorating to the price of a new bath. It’s much quicker too. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Different materials, different repairs

Roll-top and period baths

We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, with the outside refinished as well.

Pressed steel

Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Steel often rusts by the plughole, so we check it carefully.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
